A BMW driver made a 100-mile round trip from Manchester to Leeds to get some food with his pals during the coronavirus lockdown.
The motorist flouted government rules to stay indoors - instead deciding to pick up TWO friends for the unnecessary journey.
He was stopped by traffic police in West Yorkshire, who said they were 'amazed' by his actions.
Both the driver of the white BMW and the passengers he picked up have been 'dealt with', the force tweeted.
